A 1999 model DF 44, commissioned in 2000. This 44 is in beautiful condition and was a fresh water boat for the first 4 years, and is again berthed in fresh water. She has been lovingly cared for and well maintained mechanically and cosmetically by her knowledgeable owners. She is fully commissioned, in the water under cover, and ready to serve her next owners with the same rugged dependablibilty her present owners have enjoyed. They are downsizing, and putting their feet back on terra firma after a few years of extended cruising. It is not often that a relatively "late model" DF 44 comes on the market. Don't miss the chance to act on this beautiful 44 if you are in the market.
